- It was revealed that Janssen, who dated Beador, 59, for three years before their surprising split in January, was dating RHOC alum Alexis Bellino
- Beador attended the Season 2 premiere of Jeff Lewis' Hollywood Houselift on Wednesday, where she admitted how “hurt” she was with Janssen dating Bellino
- “I'm not going to lie, I'm hurt. I've been hurt a lot these past few weeks,” Beador began
Just a few weeks after admitting she was healing from “a lot of pain,” Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador opened up about her ex John Janssen.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Janssen, who dated Beador, 59, for three years before their surprising split in January, was dating RHOC alum Alexis Bellino, 46.
Beador attended the Season 2 premiere of Jeff Lewis' Hollywood Houselift on Wednesday, where she admitted how “hurt” she was when Janssen dated Bellino.
“I'm not going to lie, I'm hurt. I've been hurt a lot these past few weeks,” Beador began.
She added that she was hurt, “because, No. 1, John said he didn't want to be in the public eye, and he's put himself more in the public eye at this point.” So I'm quite confused about that.'

The new relationship is also pretty bizarre, considering Alexis' ex-husband Jim Bellino previously sued Beador for defamation in 2018, long after Alexis left RHOC.
“John is well aware of a lawsuit that I was involved in along with Jim Bellino, and Alexis was involved in that lawsuit,” Shannon clarified.
'I was devastated financially and emotionally for years. And I won. But it has devastated me financially. And I'm a single mother. John is aware of that,” Beador said.
Beador joined RHOC in season 9, just after Bellino left the show in season 8, adding that she doesn't know why John would date another RHOC member.
'I don't know how to process it. How many Orange County Housewives have there been? Is that your dating pool?' she asked.
Beador also cleared up rumors that she had a verbal altercation with Bellino just one night before her DUI arrest in September.
'I do not know her. She said that on my unfortunate night I was across the bar yelling obscenities at her, which I did not do, and I have witnesses to prove that,” Beador said.
She added, “If you're going to say things about me, let's talk about the truth.”

When asked where she stood with John, she said: 'I haven't spoken to him in a while. It's been two months.'
Reports that Janssen and Bellino were dating surfaced on Tuesday, although there are sources who claim that it is not that serious yet.
“Things are still very new and they aren't using terms like boyfriend and girlfriend at this point,” the source said.
“They enjoy the company and happiness they bring to each other's lives,” the source added.
